“…For this particular scenario, since the simulation time is relatively short (around 180 s), stable wind and temperature may be a reasonable approximation. Arguably for such a scenario, satisfactory simulation results may be obtained by using simpler models, such as SLAB (Ermak 1990), HEGADAS (Colenbrander 1980), DEGADIS (Spicer et al 1989), HGSYSTEM (Witlox & McFarlane 1994), PHAST (DNV 2007), ALOHA (EPA 2006), SCIPUFF (Sykes et al 2007) and TRACE (Systems 2009). Nevertheless, the aim of this study is not to find the best simulation tool for the particular vapour dispersion scenario; instead it is to find an enabling method (i.e.…”

“…They identified existing computer models that possibly were adequate (or could be easily adapted) for the atmospheric dispersion of UF, and similar dense, reactive gases (Sykes and Lewellen, 1992). After initially examining 37 models, the authors focused on these five: 0 PLM89A TRIAD HGSYSTEM, developed by Witlox et al (1990) of Shell Research, Ltd., and available 0 ADM, developed by Raj and Morris (1987) and available from the U.S. Air Force 0 SLAB, developed by Ermak (1990) and available from Lawrence Livermore National through the American Petroleum Institute (API) Laboratory PLM89A and TRIAD were the only models specifically developed for UF, dispersion. HGSYSTEM and SLAB were based on widely accepted dense gas models, while HGSYSTEM and ADAM included the chemistry and phase behavior of hydrogen fluoride (HF').…”

“…Conforme Ermak (1990), o SLAB é um modelo computacional que simula a dispersão atmosférica de liberações de materiais mais densos do que o ar; os tipos de liberações que podem ser tratadas pelo modelo incluem a evaporação de poças, jatos horizontais elevados, jatos verticais elevados e fontes instantâneas volumétricas; com exceção da fonte evaporação de poça, que é considerada como sendo fonte somente de vapor, as demais possibilidades de liberação podem ser formadas ou por vapor puro ou por misturas de vapor e gotículas de líquidos.…”

“…Segundo Ermak (1990) a dispersão atmosférica da liberação acidental é modelada com base na solução simplificada das equações de conservação de massa (global e para o componente), de momento e de energia em duas formas diferentes para fornecer as propriedades médias espaciais da nuvem associadas às duas formas básicas de liberação: plumas ou puffs. A forma das equações no modo puff no SLAB considera a média nas três direções espaciais (x, y e z), deixando o tempo como única variável independente.…”
